The other night I was making fried chicken, and when I was about the pull the chicken out of the marinade I realized that we were out of a crucial ingredient – seasoned salt. We were hungry and it was about 7 p.m., so I didn't feel like running to the grocery store. I racked my brain and thought of what was in “seasoned salt,” and I realized we had everything in the kitchen to make my own. The only thing we didn't have was dried parsley. But, I had a bunch of flat-leaf parsley in the freezer. I turned the oven on it's lowest setting, cut off some parsley, dried it on paper towels, baked it for ½ an hour and Voilà! We had dried parsley for homemade seasoned salt.

Homemade Seasoned Salt

4 tablespoons of kosher salt

2 tablespoons of black pepper

2 tablespoons of dried parsley

1 teaspoon of cayenne

1 teaspoon of paprika

1 teaspoon of onion powder

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of celery salt

Mix all of the ingredients together, and store in an airtight container.
